Great vibe and good service overall. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere made for an enjoyable experience.
That said, I wasn’t particularly impressed with the waiter’s recommendation and the food in general, especially the Izu Burger, which I found quite/ very ordinary. The salad was good, while the drinks were just normal and nothing particularly memorable.
I’d still be open to coming back and trying some of the other menu options, as the overall experience was good.
It’s probably our 4th time to La Maison Ani, the chef has made an incredible job and the menu is varied and all dishes we have been trying during our visits are excellent.
This time we were a party of 10, we ordered the following:
Veal Milanese
Beef tenderloin
Penni bolognese
Salmon
Sole fish
Fried calamari
Quinoa salad
Burrata
Beetroot salad
Lentil salad
The appetizers, are small in portion compared to the price but everything is fresh and tasty!
Desserts are 4 star, we have tried better, especially when it comes to the pear tart.
I gave 3 starts for service, as these guys are definitely understaffed.. the place is big, and the staff are overwhelmed.
Honestly such a great experience because of Joseph & Leo — the service was WOW and the food was amazing. There was one thing we didn’t really like, but they handled it so professionally and even offered us a complimentary dish. Their attitude and the way they genuinely care about customer feedback is something you don’t see often. Haven’t been to a place with this level of service in a long time 👏
Absolutely amazing experience! The food was simply delicious from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. Each time a plate arrived, we would say this one is definitely the best! and then the next dish would surprise us even more with how incredible it was. The flavors, the quality, and the presentation were all exceptional. It’s rare to find a place where every single dish exceeds expectations, highly recommended!
Lovely atmosphere and great food. We ordered the steak sandwich, seafood risotto, Margherita pizza, and burrata salad — all were delicious and well prepared. The tiramisu and crème brûlée were excellent and a perfect way to end the meal. A very enjoyable experience and definitely worth a visit.
